Did not even get past go... two banks no half dollars... I can't believe it
So I been reading here and got kinda excited and went to go buy my first half dollars. I live in a small western college town. Went to my personal bank... no rolls. They do not carry them. Huh? I do not understand. Why not? She checked all the tellers.... only 3 half dollars. So I went to the next bank. Again, no rolls.
What am I doing wrong. Seems they do not like half dollars around here.
I was thinking about it and it dawned on me. The retailers, their cashier drawers - they are too small for half dollars. A few will fit but not many. If people used half dollars consistently it would fill up there trays in a hurry. Two quarters take up less room than one half dollar. So it is a convience-volume thing. The same with people, put 5 dollars worth of quarters in your pocket without too much problem. But put 10 half dollars and your pants go sideways and ya start walking around in circles.
Ha.
